Israeli drones hovering above building threatened in southern Beirut

Three Israeli drones have been hovering above the building in Hadath in Beirut’s southern suburbs, which Israel has threatened with bombardment and destruction.

At least three Israeli “roof-knocking” warning bombs have been dropped, sowing chaos and panic in the area.

That is the practice of dropping non-explosive or low-yield devices on the roofs of targeted civilian homes as a prior warning of imminent bombing attacks to purportedly give the inhabitants time to flee the attack.


Israel strikes Beirut for the first time since ceasefire ended Israel-Hezbollah war

Israel has bombarded Beirut for the first time since a ceasefire ended the Israel-Hezbollah war in November.

The attack was in the southern suburbs after Israel issued a forced evacuation threat there.


Truce between Lebanon and Israel appears increasingly fragile

Tensions are soaring in Lebanon as the ceasefire agreement that halted the conflict with Israel on November 27 hangs by a thread, Sami Nader, director of the Levant Institute for Strategic Affairs, has told Al Jazeera.

“The ceasefire has always been fragile because on one hand, Hezbollah has not been demilitarised,” Nader said.

“On the other hand, Israel is keeping territory inside Lebanon, so both sides have a justification to continue their military operations.”

While Hezbollah has denied any involvement in the launching of rockets at Israel earlier, Nader said it was up to the Lebanese authorities to enforce UN resolutions 1701 and 1559, by which the government must take full responsibility for any military activity in the country and, in particular, south of the Litani River.


Lebanon’s president says Israeli attacks on Beirut another violation of ceasefire

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun says Israel’s attacks on Beirut are a “continuation of Israel’s violation of the agreement sponsored by France and the United States”.

In a statement on X, Aoun said: “The international community must put an end to these attacks and force Israel to abide by the agreement, just as Lebanon is committed to it.”
